Leverage Your Mind, Brain and Physiology to Perform Your Best at Work
In this episode of Sal Silvester on the Future of Leadership, Dr. Gavriel (Gav) Schneider unpacks the essential elements of his Presilience® framework, designed to help leaders perform at their best in high-pressure environments.
Together, we explore how the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and physiology plays a critical role in sustainable leadership performance. Dr. Gav offers a practical and science-backed perspective on what it really takes to stay ahead in today’s complex and demanding world.
A New Lens on Sustained High Performance
As pressure increases, leaders can’t rely on instinct alone. Instead, they need systems and strategies that support consistent high performance—both for themselves and their teams. This episode provides a fresh take on leadership development that addresses not only how we think, but how we prepare our physiology for peak output.
Key takeaways include:
- The three foundational enablers of high performance: mind, brain, and body. We unpack how each contributes to long-term resilience through intentional work with mindset, habits, and physiology
- Psychological readiness and how to train for stress before it hits.
- The neuroscience of decision-making and how leaders can “chunk” information to reduce overwhelm.
- Strategies to regulate the body’s fight-or-flight response in moments of tension.
- Understanding the “seesaw effect” – why emotional and factual thinking often compete, and how to shift between the two to improve conflict management, communication, and strategy.
Whether you’re navigating uncertainty or looking to level up your leadership capacity, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to help you lead with greater clarity and confidence.
